Blood

Definition

Hemodialysis is a method of mechanically cleansing your blood outside the body.

The blood is carried by means of a machine to a filter which removes the toxins and excess water. After passing through this circuit, the filtered blood is returned to the body. In order to be able to access your blood, we use a vein of sufficient flow, being suggestively known as “vascular access”.

Hematology is the branch of medicine that studies the blood and its diseases (or hemopathies).

In particular, it studies blood cells of hematopoietic origin (cells synthesized in the bone marrow), which play a role in oxygenation, immunity and coagulation, as well as in the study of certain plasma cells, which are coagulation factors.
